"Trinity Sessions" put them on the map and is a classic audiophile favorite but I like "Lay It Down" the best. Also, "Caution Horses" has a few good songs--"Cheap Is How I Feel" is one of my favorite CJ songs of all time. I saw them at a bar in New Haven (Trogs or Frogs or something like that) many years ago. One of the best live shows I've seen. A really small room with a bar and great sound. The CJ had the audience absolutely spellbound throughout the show. Saw Ricki Lee Jones at the same place a few years later and she had to chastise the audience for talking throughout the night.
